Ed Sheeran has spoken out about his ongoing battle with his weight, revealing he’s struggled with an eating disorder sparked by working with certain pop stars, but has found the key to keeping himself healthy.
Appearing on CBS Sunday Morning over the weekend, the pop star, who has previously discussed his bulimia battle, called himself a “fat bloke” before sharing how he keeps his “weight in check now”.
“I keep my weight in check now because I do a lot of exercise, but I’ve just always been a fat bloke.”
While the interviewer told Sheeran, “You’re not fat,” the Shape of You singer explained he’s constantly cautious of keeping his weight down and that his bulimia began when he started comparing himself to other pop stars.
Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine in March, he revealed after collaborating with Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber, who he says “both have fantastic figures”, he began struggling with his image.
